You’ll collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to plan, promote, deliver, monitor, and report on BAM’s social sustainability programmes and commitments.

- Coordinate Social Mobility, Foundational Economy, and Social Inclusion activities to meet contractual commitments.
- Identify opportunities to increase local and marginalised spend (MSMEs, VCSEs) and negotiate social sustainability terms in subcontracts.
